Zimmy,
Do you actually think a state & town sponsored Army corps project like this did not go through an EIS? Give me a break. This wasn't some backdoor deal. It was viewed as beneficial use of dredged material (that was getting dredged anyways)

It IS a short-term solution, and according to the paper something will have to change in the future if the town/state decide they need to save matunuck beach Road.
